Inspired by Brazilian folklore, Marisela Treviño Orta invites us into a world where the mystical hums just beneath the surface of the everyday. Myth and lyrical storytelling intertwine to tell a heartrending tale of love, regret, transformation, and the quiet tension between honoring your family and honoring yourself. Orta crafts a cautionary story that challenges us to consider how fear can disguise itself as duty and how easily we can let love slip away, believing we’ll have another chance. But sometimes, we don’t. Sometimes, the river only offers us one crossing. - Alex Rodriguez (Director’s Note)
